Biblical events as retold by Google Earth
In "God's Eye View," Sydney-based art collective The Glue Society portrays four major Biblical events as if captured by Google Earth: "Cross, Moses, Ark, Eden."
Creative Review blog says the group "is aiming to produce further works using the same satellite imagery next year but this time relating to mythological occurrences and major historical events." Link.

GhettoJoe, not everyone saw that. It's new to most of us here.
OM, could you please not do cliches? You're funnier than that, and it only encourages people who aren't.
